The overwhelming experience with Champion glowplugs in the Mercedes community has been negative.

Start looking for Bosch on sale somewhere online - as I seem to recall Champion plugs' lifespan is measured in months, not years.

The only good brands are Bosch, Beru and Monark. It's unlikely you will find Monarks or Beru as cheap as Bosch.

Edit: So I just suggested you look for a deal, let me also suggest you do so only from reputable suppliers. eBay doesn't qualify. It's a haven for vendors of Chinese copies and yes, there are knockoff Bosch GPs out there.

BTW, you've got mail.
